Anyone Using Flow to sync SharePoint content to Sitecore (web CMS)?

Our University uses Sitecore as the web CMS and we have a "SharePoint Query" dataset object in Sitecore that many folks are using to render data from SP Lists and Libraries on Sitecore pages. However, we found that we needed to use Anonymous Access on Doc Libs to prevent users from being prompted for authentication. Since Anonymous Access is gone (and presumed not coming back) from SP Online, I'm trying to come up with other ways to achieve this same goal. If there were a way to sync files between a SP Library and a folder/location in Sitecore, that might be sufficient. Unfortunately, there are no connectors for Sitecore (that I can find). Sure, I guess our devs could create a custom connector, but they're up to their eyeballs just getting Sitecore updated to the latest version.

Hi @ChadVKealey,

Sitecore is currently not an available connector for Microsoft Flow. Please consider submitting a request on Flow Ideas Forum if you need this feature:

Besides, it might be achieved by creating a custom connector, please check the following doc on custom connectors in Microsoft Flow for more details:

Best regards,

Mabel

Hi @ChadVKealey

Just wondering if you've managed to sync SharePoint content to Sitecore? Did you have to create custom connector?

@sgangadhara , we gave up, at least for now. Our Sitecore team is working on transitioning to Sitecore 9 and doesn't have the resources to work on this right now.

@ChadVKealey Thanks. We've the similar requirement at the moment. Sitecore provides SharePoint integration Framework (SPIF) which is now called as SharePoint connect which allows integration with SharePoint. However Sitecore 9 does not seem to support SharePoint connect. Hence we've been looking for other approaches.
